Why do I have the lowest fighting ability among the whole family?

Chapter 274 Tinglan (8)
"I'm really sorry. I was just playing and didn't pay attention..."

"Thank you Mr. Lin for the lantern that day." Song Tinglan thanked him seriously.

Lin Xuqiu looked disappointed for a moment, but he quickly hid it.

"No problem." He replied seriously.

Song Tinglan breathed a sigh of relief. She was not so reluctant to let go, and smiled at Lin Xuqiu.

"I don't know why the young master gave the lantern to me that day."

"Maybe Miss Song doesn't remember, but we actually met at the Lantern Festival one year ago."

Song Tinglan was startled. She really had no impression of this.

Lin Xuqiu, with a serious tone, continued: "Ever since the Lantern Festival that year, I have fallen in love with Miss Song at first sight. However, at that time, Lin knew that he was of low origin and was not worthy of Miss Song. What's more, Miss Song was already engaged at that time. Lin really didn’t dare to disturb me rashly.”

Lin Xuqiu's tone was very serious, and his eyes were filled with intense, inextricable love.

Song Tinglan was looking at him and just wanted to escape.

"But now, I don't know if God heard my prayer or why, but I actually heard the news that Miss Song has called off the engagement."

"So I tried every possible means to add myself to the list, just to let Miss Song see me. But I really didn't dare to imagine that Miss Song could pick me. For Lin, today is really like a dream. It’s so dreamy and unbelievable.”

Lin Xuqiu knew that there was a huge difference between himself and Song Tinglan, so he was very straightforward and unabashedly revealed all his feelings in front of Song Tinglan.

He knew that if he didn't say anything today, he might never have the chance to express his love.

"Lin knows that it is a little abrupt to tell this girl today, but... I hope Miss Song can give Lin a chance."

When Lin Xuqiu said that, Song Tinglan thought of the "Lantern Festival" he mentioned.

She couldn't remember what happened so many years ago. At that time, she had not broken off her engagement with Pei Jingshuo, and it was she and Pei Jingshuo who went to the Lantern Festival that year.

I just don’t know when I met Lin Xuqiu.

She was about to speak, but suddenly remembered.

During the Lantern Festival that year, she stood on the Mingyue Bridge and was squeezed by the surging crowd and almost fell off the bridge. But at the critical moment, it was a pair of familiar hands that held her.

It was just that Pei Jingshuo came over quickly at that time, and she only had time to thank the man for his help.

The face in his memory coincided with the person in front of him, and the words of rejection in Song Tinglan's mouth were as if they were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them out.

Lin Xuqiu was still so nervous that his heart almost jumped out of his chest, especially when Song Tinglan was silent, he was even more worried that the other party was afraid of hurting his self-esteem and was thinking about rejection.

Lin Xuqiu couldn't wait any longer. He spoke with a trembling voice: "No matter what Miss Song thinks, just say it..."

"Then let's try to get along."

The two voices came to mind at the same time, and as Song Tinglan finished speaking, Lin Xuqiu's complexion suddenly turned gray.

His lips were dry and slightly elongated, and his throat seemed to be stuck, making him unable to speak.

He hummed quietly, looking a little pitiful.

After being stunned for a long time and carefully savoring Song Tinglan's words, he finally heard clearly what the other party said.

The huge joy seemed to bury him. Lin Xuqiu's eyes burst out with astonishing light. Facing Song Tinglan's gaze, he was as helpless as a young boy.

"I...you..." After thinking a lot, he couldn't express his feelings perfectly to the other party. He could only assure Song Tinglan in the clumsiest way.

"Don't worry, Miss Song. If one day I dare to betray Miss Song, I will strike with lightning and cut off my descendants!" Listening to the other party's young but serious vow, Song Tinglan pursed her lips and smiled.

The worries in my heart have dispersed a lot.

Pei Jingshuo is not a good match for her. If that's the case, it's not a bad idea to try boldly.

What's more, the person in front of her seems to be sincere towards her.

Both of them had the same meal.

Song Tinglan had no appetite, while Lin Xuqiu was too excited.

During this period, he kept pinching himself under the table, trying to confirm whether this was his dream. It was not until he felt the pain that he smiled stupidly at Song Tinglan.

After finishing his meal, he stood up diligently.

"How about I take you back?"

Song Tinglan shook his head and refused.

Although she promised the other party that she could give it a try, their current relationship was not familiar enough for the other party to send her home.

After Song Tinglan refused, Lin Xuqiu also realized that something was wrong with his suggestion.

He hurriedly changed his words.

"I heard that a new shop has opened in Chaoyang Lane that sells a lot of novelty gadgets. Why don't we go take a look in a few days?"

Song Tinglan knew immediately that he was talking about Sihai Penglai, but this time he nodded in agreement.

She raised her head and smiled sweetly at Lin Xuqiu.

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

Facing her smile, Lin Xuqiu felt that the blood all over his body was screaming crazily, and he was completely stunned.

He was still a little unable to recover until he returned home. He sat at the table and had fun with the teapot. A boy who had been waiting on him was even more suspicious that his son had brought back some bad luck during his trip.

Mrs. Song was looking forward to everything today and was already at the door of the house.

As soon as she saw Song Tinglan get off the carriage, she took Song Tinglan's hand and walked towards the house. She asked with concern: "Have you seen Mr. Lin today? How do you feel?"

Although Song Tinglan was not comfortable with her attitude, he still nodded: "It's okay."

Hearing her affirmation, Mrs. Song was overjoyed.

"As long as you like it, as long as you like it..." She said several words in succession, and finally patted Song Tinglan's hand. There seemed to be tears in her eyes, and she said happily: "Tinglan has grown up too. …”

Facing Mrs. Song's expression, Song Tinglan couldn't help but soften.

Her mother had been very good to her since she was a child. As the mistress of the Duke of Song Dynasty, she was the only daughter, and her mother did not treat her badly because she was a daughter.

On the contrary, from childhood to adulthood, he put her first in everything, taught her etiquette, justice and shame, sent her to school, and gradually developed her into what she is now.

Song Tinglan felt soft in her heart, and she hugged Mrs. Song back.

"Mother, don't worry. It was all my daughter's fault before."

Mrs. Song was stunned and hugged her, tears flowing down silently.

And the gap between mother and daughter was just broken.
